I have an 84 turbo coupe motor with 88k on it. The vaine air from the same car and a 88 turbo coupe inter cooler. Now is there a maf conversion? don't know anything about doing this swap. I would like to put it in a fox but need to know more first. Any good site's to look at that you guys may know of. Also what turbo to run cause the guy I got it from used the turbo 15 years ago so I need to get one.

The '84's had the small VAM. Get a large VAM (and connector) from an '87-'88 TC along with the LA3 ECU from the same car. You'll have to do the wiring conversion but Stinger's site and FLEMWORLD have all the instructions.

Mustang SVO Website Sponsored by the SVO Club of America will have alot of info on the turbo engine. As far as MAF conversion it is a big pain, you have to change the code in the computer or run a standalone/piggyback, the factory big vam has been known to hold out well over 300hp, beyond that point your probably looking at a standalone or piggyback anyhow. So it really is how far you want to push this engine...
